Boulder County residents can register to vote through Election Day

Thanks to legislation passed earlier this year, qualified residents can register to vote in the Nov. 5 election up until 7 p.m. on Election Day, according to a Boulder County news release.

Online registration is available at GoVoteColorado.com through Oct. 28. A valid Colorado driver's license or state ID is needed to register online. After a person registers online, the Boulder County Elections Division will send that voter a mail ballot that may be returned to a polling center or mail dropoff site up until 7 p.m. Nov. 5.

After Oct. 28, qualified voters can visit one of four centers in the county through Election Day to register in person. A ballot will be issued once a voter is properly registered, according to the news release.

County officials remind residents that the requirements to vote include being at least 18, being a U.S. citizen and being a Colorado resident for at least 22 days prior to Election Day. Potential voters also may not be serving a sentence or on parole for a felony conviction.
